My underwear is yellow. Does it mean I have a gynecological disease?

Netizen asked: I am 25 years old and have always paid great attention to private hygiene. I change my underwear every day.

But recently, I found that the crotch of my underwear was yellow, and sometimes there was yellow stuff on it. Could it be that I have a gynecological disease?

In fact, there are two common reasons for the yellowing of underwear, depending on the specific situation:

First, urine stains

This situation is very common. If you mind, you can wipe off the residual urine with toilet paper after urinating, and your underwear will not easily turn yellow.

Second, it is caused by leucorrhea

Leucorrhea is generally composed of substances secreted by the cervical glands, endometrial glands and vaginal glands, and is a normal secretion of women.

Most leucorrhea is egg white-like or thin and paste-like, transparent, milky white or slightly yellowish in color, and does not have much odor.

When a healthy woman secretes leucorrhea, there is no obvious discomfort in the private parts, but the underwear will gradually turn yellow after being worn for a long time. This is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much.

If you find that your leucorrhea suddenly turns dark yellow or yellow-green, there is a faint odor in your private parts, and you have symptoms such as vaginal itching, you may have a gynecological infection and it is recommended that you seek medical attention immediately.
